Cars Stop for Bikes

A bike path carves through the landscape and cars at a crossroads are the ones who have to give way and stop.

Part of the new Green Path - Grønne sti - in Copenhagen that provides cyclists with a long shortcut through Copenhagen. A kind of ring route that serves to help cyclists avoid riding into the center of town if they don't need to.

Built largely on terrain once used by railways, the Green Path is a fantastic initiative.

Kilometres cycled by Copenhageners so far today

Copenhagenize.com is the blog of Copenhagenize Design Company. Online since 2007 and highlighting the cycling life in Copenhagen and around the world.

40 years ago Copenhagen was just as car-clogged as anywhere else but now 41% of the population arriving at work or education do so on bicycles, from all over the Metro area. 56% of Copenhageners themselves use bicycles each day. They all use over 1000 km of bicycle lanes in Greater Copenhagen for their journeys. Copenhagenizing is possible anywhere.
